4.0 out of 5 stars Tragic and beautiful, November 7, 1999

O'barr does it again. This book has it all- beautiful art and poetry (not to mention the storyline). If you loved the original crow, you'll love this. Nuff said.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a real page turner from beggining to end., July 6, 1999

This review is from: Crow: The Dead Time (Paperback)

Well,I am a die hard crow fan.I watch the show ,saw the movie , and read this graphic novel. I think that the story line is great (I am emersed in the story line of anything crow related),However , if you saw the movie , this is great graphic novel for the reason that it has the cool crow story line working for it , but o'barr puts it in new words.Fantastic.A must have for all crow fans.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but not really up to par, December 27, 1998

I thought the art was reasonably well-done, though it ain't James O'Barr's drawing. The story wasn't all that bad, pretty original, but it seemed kinda stupid to me. I mean, Confederate soldiers reincarnated as a biker gang. Not really all that far-fetched, but why would the Crow wait that long? I mean, let's look at our past Crows...one year, months, weeks, days, same day... I guess, revenge requires a sense of timing too, though it really didn't work for me. I also didn't feel a lot of the emotion I felt with O'Barr's story. I guess, I'm so used to the lyricism and poetics of the original, that anything less just seems like crap to me. Anyway, this book is work a look, but I honestly do not think that any Crow comic will ever be as good as the original.
